*Geometry*
Announcements:

1. Ch.3. Quiz

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. CC.9-12.G.CO.9:  Prove geometric theorems about lines and angles.

Big Idea:

1. Inductive and Deductive reasoning can be used to prove geometric conditions. 

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Lunch Count
3. Quiz

**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. Return Chemistry Quiz

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR4.9-11.PS2A:  Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.   The nucleus of an atom take up very little of the atom's volume but makes up almost all of the mass.  The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are much more massive than the electrons surrounding the nucleus.  Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.   

Big Idea:

1. We understand the structure of the atom by deductive reasoning.

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Review Chemistry Quiz

***Biology***

Announcements:

1. Plan for Biology Quiz Nov. 13th.

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR 4.9-11.LS1D:  The cell is surrounded by a membrane that separates the interior of the cell from the outside world and determines which substances may enter and which may leave.  
2. EALR 4.9-11.LS1C:  Cells contain specialized parts for determining essential functions such as regulation of cellular activities, energy capture and release, formation of proteins, waste disposal, the transfer of information, and movement.  

Big Idea(s):

1. Cells are the smallest unit of a living organism.   Within cells are the essential parts for photosynthesis and cellular respiration.  
2. Organelles carry out the essential functions of the cell.

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Review 'Create-a-Test' Assignment
1. Students take peer-created tests.
2. Correct the tests
3. Discuss tests
1. What are the major topics of each test?
2. What were the 'odd' or 'surprise' questions?
3. How did you feel as you took each test?
4. Were the the
3. Review:  Cell Function and Structure:  Overview Assignment:
1. Review Misunderstood Words
2. For EACH of the following section headings, list the ORGANELLES that would you think would be involved:
1. Maintaining Osmotic Pressure
2. Maintaining proper pH
3. Maintaining Temperature
4. Regulating Food and Wastes
5. Cell maintenance and repair.
6. Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.

Homework:

1. Cell structure analogy. (Due:  Wednesday, Nov 6th)

****Life Science****

Announcements:  

1. New Unit

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR 4.6-8.LS1A:  All organisms are composed of cells, which carry out the many functions needed to sustain life.
2. EALR 4.6-8.LS1D:  Both plant and animal cells must carry on life functions, so they have parts in common, such as nuclei, cytoplasm, cell membranes, and mitochondria.  But plants have specialized cell parts, such as chloroplasts for photosynthesis and cell walls, which provide plants their overall structure. 

Big Idea:

1. Cells are the basic units of living organisms, themselves consisting of many parts that have varying functions. 

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Collect Test Signatures
3. Collect/Check Summarizing Activity (From Monday)
4. Bloom's Taxonomy (Why teacher's assign work to students)
5. What are cells? The smallest unit of living organisms.
1. Cells:  The basic unit of life. 
1. BrainPop Video: Cells
2. BrainPop Video:  Cell Structure
3. Fun Intro: Cell Structure Rap 
2. Functions of Cells:  
1. Use Energy
2. Manufacture materials
3. Respond to Environment
4. Reproduce
6. Class time for reading section 3B.
7. ASB (Mr. Wilcox needs to speak with ASB students prior to PowderPuff Game)

Homework:  

1. Read Chapter 3, Section B.  
2. As you read, complete the following:
1. Write 6-10 sentences that summarize the section.
1. This is approximately one sentence every two paragraphs.  
2. Your sentences should be in YOUR OWN words, not just be copying sentences from the book.  (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 

****Trigonometry****

(NO TRIGONOMETRY TODAY DUE TO POWDER PUFF GAME)

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. CCSS-GSRT.1
1. Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute triangles
2. CCSS-GSRT.6
1. Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangles, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios.
3. CCSS-GSRT.7
1. Explain and use the relationship between sine and cosine of complementary angles.
4. CSS-GSRT.8
1. Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.

Big Idea:

1. Radians are the standard measure of angle in many areas of mathematics and engineering.
2. The Unit Circle is a standard circle used in trigonometric functions.
